Pros: Fast easily overclocked (4.1 @1.44 volts) Runs decently cool Fast great price to performance ratio Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: I am using an h60 to cool it and haven't even taken the stock heatsink out of the box.

SilverSurfer166 5/14/2013 5:59:29 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 4/52010 Higher Mid Level Processor Pros: I bought this in 2011 as part of a personal desktop build. I wanted a processor that was stable, fast, and priced right. Mine was $125 at the time. I bought a better CPU cooler at the same time. I put it in a Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H mobo, with 8Gbs of RAM, and a AMD Radeon HD 6670 video card and put everything in a Cooler Master eLite Case. I've been running Windows7 off a 60Gb OCZ SSD, and everything else goes into a Western Digital Blue 1Tb HHD. I wanted a fast processor for Video Editing, and this one works great. I don't play games on it, but I'm sure it would play them at mid-level. Cons: None so far, they worked fine for 2 years. Other Thoughts: I'm happy, this was my first AMD build and it went fine. I would use AMD again. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

N/A 5/11/2013 3:14:24 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Still Great Today Pros: This processor is wonderful. If you are building today and have a compatible motherboard...go for it....Its a wonderful processor. Get some good solid GSkill or Patriot memory and max it out and I dont know how you can beat it with anything else out there!!!! Its a great chip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful!!! Cons: Dont tell anyone, but I ordered and am using a artic cool sync, and it is just stupid good. The factory one looks okay though, if you want to use it, I dont see a problem with it...looks like they did a good job, its a good size, but I am an artic fan!!!! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

N/A 5/11/2013 12:56:59 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 5/5Incredible for a goos price Pros: For such a low priced CPU, I didn't expect it to run much. However, this is one of my favorite AMD products. I was on a very tight budget and this was right inside the price range. Even though it's a cheaper model, if you have a decent GPU you can run about anything you throw at it. I'm able to run ARMA 2, Starcraft 2, and Empires Total War at max settings and only about 20% to 40% CPU usage Cons: Not the fastest CPU ever, it can keep pace for a while but load times are sometimes tedious. If you have the extra money go for an Intel i5. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Gamaka 5/11/2013 11:25:30 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great bang for the buck Pros: Upgraded from a Phenom IIx2; performance is (sic) more than doubled. This CPU may be aged, but it performs well for games and coding. Cons: Still have to lightning type...can't it just think for me too? Other Thoughts: Used an after-market cooler (CoolerMaster) to OC; got it to 4.0 without breaking a sweat. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/11/2013 10:23:21 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5phenon2x4965be Pros: compatibility,fast,quiet fan and heat sink that comes with it.price wasn't bad either. Cons: nothing that I can tell as of far,does everything It should . Other Thoughts: I read so many reviews stating that this cpu wouldn't be compatible with my hpe 112y aloe motherboard,well it was a smooth installation,I also only had bios version 5.05 I believe,I'm still checking to see if I should update to the newest version or not,psu should be upgraded to at least 600-650w.There we're also many comments that were of much help, so thanks to all who knew what they we're talking about.
